Dream Life

Episode XXII: Completing Distilled Liquor

It's the day of the commissioning of the distiller that was remodeled and installed at Scott's Brewery's warehouse along the Finn River.

At Nicholas's behest, Yale's barrels are brought in one after the other.

Carefully put it in the distiller and light the coal at the bottom.

Carefully ascertain the temperature of the gradually rising distiller as Nicholas hears the sound with a thin iron bar. Then, after a gentle nod as to whether he was satisfied or not, he poured cold water from the Finn River into the chiller that led to the exit of the arm.

After a while, a clear liquid as thin as yarn slowly flowed out of the outlet of the chiller. And gradually get fatter.

Beltram took it in a container, and when he put it on his face, he was smiling for a moment.

I pretend to be a curious kid and take it. Scott tries to stop it, but Nicholas laughs and says, "It's okay. I'm watching," he said, pretending to be burning his hands at his nasty husband's kid.

I moved my nose closer to the container I had received and I could smell it with my hands.

(Sounds fine. Don't smell the new pot I used to smell at the distillery - the name of the freshly made whiskey. That's also non peat - the type that's not smoked by peat - just like that)

Known to me, you should be able to concentrate roughly triple in one go, so the degrees are even higher but less than twenty degrees. The smell of sweet malt is slightly tough, but another distillation should bring it closer to fifty degrees.

I returned the container to Beltram and laughed at Nicole at an invisible angle from Scott.

Beltram said with his eyes, "Success? I've heard," so I nod small and tell him, "Success."

Though I thought it was eye contact with Dwarf's old man, I'm about to jump to the joy of success.

Tell Nicholas about your success with the keywords you used to tell him in advance.

I'm like a kid, "Nicholas, what's this?" I ask. When I said, "This smells weird," it was a failure, and when I said, "What is this?" it was a code for success.

He said to me, "This is alcohol that has made alcohol stronger. It's still early for Master Zacharias," he laughed, telling Scott,

"Success. Distill again in an adjacent distiller. Keep everything you can in a barrel. Would you like to see the taste, Mr. Beltram?

Beltram hesitates slightly in the words, but he mouths the container "Let me have a drink".

And I included it in my mouth to stir it up all at once.

I was wondering if I was okay, but I just swallowed the dwarf, without being able to match it.

"That's definitely stronger than ale. Not enough to burn your tongue, but this feeling is going to be a habit. Lick Nicholas, too. You might as well drink it all at once."

Nicholas receives a small nodding container. And when he spoke slightly, he said buffoo and was slightly upset.

"Ya, you're definitely a little tight. The smell is unique, and it's going to sell as an unusual drink."

After that, Scott also mouths, like Nicholas, "This is an unusual flavor. Is this gonna work? ♪ And he's smiling at me ♪

Apparently, it didn't fit Scott's mouth.

"If I could be a little stronger, I could definitely sell it at Cow. If it feels like you drank a glass of ale in one bite, it would be great for a Dwarf who likes alcohol."

Scott seems a little motivated by the tattoo of the belt rum.

"Yikes! I'll distill the guns and make a stronger one!

Nicholas then hands Scott a note with a note of caution, further referred to as instruction, to encourage research.

(Nicholas is serious. I think I can leave it up to you to some extent. If there's a way to gauge degrees, we can constant the quality, but we don't have to force it to constant. Because that's a liquor personality too...... maybe you're going to keep an eye on the distiller so it doesn't break?

I decided to stand until my second distillation to see what I thought of the strong distilled liquor.

Beltram first.

"What's this booze like, at first? I can't get used to burning my tongue when it's in my mouth, but I can't stop feeling like it's coming through my throat."

Next, Scott's thoughts - and Scott has Nicholas asking - are

"At first you thought your mouth hurt. As Mr. Nicholas told me, dividing it with water made my stomach a little easier and hotter all at once. Whether it's good or not, it's a booze like never before."

Finally, Nicholas' thoughts.

"If you ask me if I like it, I prefer beer or ale. But if putting it to sleep makes it better, I'm interested in waiting."

After all, he seemed to only take it from Beltram, but was a little relieved that it was going to sell to Dwarves.

And on his way home, he asked Beltram for his opinion.

"At first I think I'd recommend dividing it with water and drinking it, what do you think?

"If you're a human, you might want that. But you better sell to the rough guys like this. They live in glory. I can still drink strong booze like this."

I was going to make a manufacturing plan, but I wasn't sure how much to make without market research.

(Not now. It's a test distillation. But if we're going to make it for real, we have to think about it from wheat cultivation. Will you consult your father in conjunction with the enhancement of the distiller and the construction of the reservoir?)

I'm going to report to my grandfather and father with the distilled liquor I put in with Nicholas.

For starters, Hundreds of Hearts is only at first glance, get the distilled liquor licked.

I tried licking it before I got here, but I had no idea how many degrees it was on the tongue of a sensitive four-year-old.

I transferred it to a plate and lit it on fire, and the blue and white flame immediately caught on, so it looks like it is at least forty degrees degrees degrees degrees.

My grandfather and father get a subtle look right after they lick it. So I'll break it up a little with water and give it something a little sweeter with more honey. There was no ice, so it was a warm cocktail, but it would be easier to drink than it was, so I made it.

When the two of them include it in their mouths, they now start drinking with gooks. After drinking up satisfactorily, my grandfather,

"This is where I want another drink. Matt, this is gonna be something, but what do you think?

My father stared at the drunk jock and groaned, "Right,"

"This year's barley was abundant. Allow distillation for more than usual years. As for the reservoir...... Zach, you seem to have some thoughts?

"Yes, for the moment I think it would be nice to build an extra next to a brewery that is easy to transport, but in the future I am thinking that this building will build a basement on the hill and make it a storage area there. Distilled liquor is not so tightly temperature-controlled, but in the case of long-term aging, it should have been better not to increase the temperature too much."

My father roared and said, "You can't hang the money,"

When I heard the story, the amount spent on pump and distiller materials was higher than I expected, so it was tough not to cash in on the cereals I was stockpiling, etc.

I do have something I do with cost exterior view.

It is particularly close to the Beltram lunch box for the production of distillers. As a father, he seems to think we need to at least just pay for the materials.

Most of the ingredients are pure copper. This copper belongs to Ars - King's Capital of the Kingdom of Kaum - and it will be at a pretty good price. Because we're talking about using the magic of the "gold” attribute to increase purity.

Whiskey making is a difficult business to recover initial investment. In the 1970s and 1980s, many distilleries were closed in Scotland.

Some time ago, demand grew in the United States, so I invested in capital, but I have heard that demand soon slumped and the funds closed without being able to be recovered.

I might as well serve this distilled liquor in a fresh state - mostly wheat shochu - but I want to put it to sleep for at least three years, given that I create a brand image.

When that happens, the recovery of funds will be at least three years from now. Originally, it could be a pretty tough situation for the Lockhart family who are not so wealthy.

I said, "Okay. I'll make a plan," he replied, after his grandfathers.

My plan is to create flavor-based spirits such as whiskey and wine squeeze from ale, and gins that don't need to age.

Juniper berries were in the woods because of the scent of gin, so use them. As for my preference, I would like to add citrus skins to the botanicals - ingredients that add aroma to the gin - but I don't see citrus fruits around here, so I think I can stick something with a strong herbal smell such as mint in it.

The cost involved is relatively low for raw materials, so the initial cost is more effective than the running cost.

(Do you want to hold off on the initial investment as much as possible and hit it out around the gin that seems to be recoverable in the short term... you can sell it sweetly with honey or sugar on the gin at first. If you sell and complain about fatigue recovery and nourishment, can't you sell it?... If this hits, the name of the village of Rasmore can be sold. Then you can run on the luxury route......)

When I put together a brief plan and took it to my father, he gave Nicholas a bag of gold coins. There were ten gold coins in it, and a thousand C (krona) (= equivalent to a million yen), so I thought I'd try it now.

We decided to put that money on the cost of purchasing coal, which is fuel, and on the cost of purchasing ale, which is material. As for the barrel, it is decided to use an old barrel for red wine. So-called “claret finish”.

Actually, I'm worried about it the way it is when I retail.

There are ways to sell it in barrels, but I want to bottle it and sell it if I can. Because I think it's more stable there in terms of quality and suddenly it's hard to buy barrels.

There are no glass bottles, but pots of pottery can also be made in this village.

For once, there was something like a kiln, so I'm thinking of making a ceramic bottle like Steinhager - in an elongated ceramic container 'bottle' with German gin - but I'm worried about how to estimate the cost of manufacturing this.

Pottery jars are usually found in this world, but there is not so much demand, which makes it a pretty good price. Plus the cost of the bottle makes the liquor itself a pretty good price, so I'm thinking of introducing a system for collecting bottles, a deposit system.

However, that would multiply the cost of transporting empty bottles, so it would be less effective to keep prices from rising.

(At first, make it disposable, and if it sells, you can have a system that carries every barrel and bottles it in the consumer area. Either way, I can't help thinking about it now. You've been talking about it since it sold)

I decided to give Nicholas what I wrote about how to make gin and leave it to him and Scott.

The result was a complete gin-like one.

But even the Dwarf belt rum had its neck tilted to this flavor.

"Is this guy a pill? Can't you handle this smell? This smell is going to stain my stomach from my mouth."

I forgot what was important.

I lost sight of the fact that gins don't have the right citrus fruit.

(You should have remembered when you were botanical. This liquor is sailor's liquor. England, the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal… all the places where gins are produced are easy to get citrus fruit along the sea. Now, what to do......)

I changed my policy to say I should make something a little more drinkable.

The fact that the gin was found to be difficult to accept cut the rudder to the production of fruit-soaked liquor.

There are not so many fruits per se, but there are many berry-based fruits and wild plums in the woods. I decided to marinate this because it should be relatively readily available to make dried fruit or use for cooking.

I soak berries, plums, etc. in a forty degree or so distilled liquor that has been distilled twice, but the sweetness is overwhelmingly insufficient.

I can get the sugar if I ask the pedestrian, but the cost is high, so I don't intend to use it at the moment.

When this happens, I can only come up with about a watermelon that suggests honey or malt, but I reject watermelon because it uses the ingredients of alcohol.

(Honey... looks like there's quite a bit of wild honey, but you can't supply it stably. In the meantime, I'll try wild honey, but then I'll try beekeeping too...)

Make the fruit liquor with the addition of honey, put it in a jar and let it sleep until spring.

(After all, you couldn't make anything that seemed to sell right away. Well, let's just say we find out we can distill)

In November, we also made marl distilled from the squeeze of wine, creating a few barrels of marl.

It was December and I gave a taste of the Scotch type who put him to sleep for about two months.

Light but amber coloured because it belonged to a smaller barrel aimed at short-term aging.

Beltram, Scott and Nicholas will taste it, but it was well received by the two non-Nicholas on this.

Especially Beltram, with a full grin, was satisfied and said, "This guy can sell. Even if I can't sell it, I'll buy it all," he breathes.

"Send this guy to someone I know in Ars. Would you mind splitting it up a little?"

Bertram has said he wants to send it to a Dwarf acquaintance in Ars, where he comes from.

By then I had been able to do dozens of bottles for testing, and I was going to send about ten.

And Beltram asked me with a slightly troubled face.

"Do you have this guy's name? You can't tell a distiller from squeezing wine."

I pretend to think a little bit and tell Beltram and Nicholas, "In honor of Scott for making me, I'm going to name him“ Scotch ".

Nicholas said, "Although Scott makes other distilled liquors?" He tilted his neck, but there was no particular counterproposal, so, as I thought, he was to be named Scotch.
